Shreyas Iyer’s massive remark on Virat Kohli
Team India batter Shreyas Iyer hailed Kohli after his fantastic hundred in the second ODI of the ongoing series against Australia in Indore on Sunday, September 24.
The latter has made the No. 3 position his own in one-day cricket. However, Shreyas came in at the one-down position in the first two one-dayers against Australia as the former captain was rested. Asked about his batting position, Shreyas said:
“I'm happy to bat in any position. Whatever the team requires. Virat (Kohli) is one of the greats, there's no chance of stealing that (number 3) spot from him. I just need to keep scoring wherever (at any position) I bat."
Meanwhile, Kohli, skipper Rohit Sharma, all-rounder Hardik Pandya and left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav are set to return to the Indian team for the third ODI in Rajkot on September 27 - India’s last international match before the World Cup.
